maNavALa mAmunigaL identifies that our SrIvaishNava sampradhAyam is emperumAnAr (rAmAnuja) dharisanam as declared by namperumAL (SrIranganAthan). Together we can explore the depths of this glorious sampradhAyam in this blog site. This website is a humble samarpaNai at mAmunigaL's ponnadi (his thiruvadi [lotus feet] is called ponnadiyAm sengamalam - representing ponnadikkAl jIyar - 1st pontiff of vAnamAmalai/thOthAdhri mutt).

Previously we have seen the glories of srIvaishNava thiruvArAdhanam and steps to perform the same at http://ponnadi.blogspot.in/2012/07/srivaishnava-thiruvaaraadhanam.html. The article, while quoting several slOkams and pAsurams, was missing full reference/listing of the slOkams. This article is aimed at providing that missing information. Best efforts have been made to collect all the slOkams/pAsurams that are used in thiruvArAdhanam. Please read on to see the full listing.

vEdha manthrams (including “Om”) are to be recited only after brahmOpadhEsam (which is done as part of upanyana samskAram). Only exception is for thirumanthram which is part of manthrOpadhESam in pancha samskAram.

Urdhva puNdra dhAraNam

After taking bath one sits in a clean place and applies Urdhva puNdram reciting the following manthrams. 12 puNdrams are to be applied at the specified places first followed with srIchUrNam in the same spots.

Engage your children in playing a divine card game which will help them memorize details about each dhivyadhEsam and the AzhwArs and at the same time immerse themselves in the thought of srIman nArAyaNan and his divine abodes. Can be a great gift as well.
